This course provides a basic foundation of visual arts concepts and allows for the exploration of these concepts. Learners will learn about the five components of the California standards within this course: artistic perception, creative expression, historical and cultural context, aesthetic valuing and connections, and relationships and applications. In addition, to expand on opportunities to express ideas through the visual arts, learners will explore art theory, apply the conventions of art criticism, and develop fundamental skills through experimentation with media and techniques used to create art.  Learners will explore a variety of art styles and media: drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, and mixed media. Learners will review works by the Masters and understand their influences in the world throughout history and among various cultures.
